The 17th giveaway-Victorian Angels and My birthday

Next week is my birthday and I wanted to spice things up for myself, so I am having an angel giveaway.
It is also the gratitude month and I am grateful that you read my blog, come here and comment, and sign up to follow, thank you from the bottom of my heart!!

I was making some of these angels for an order and I made 3 before I realized I had forgotten the bee.
If you don't mind that the bee is missing, then these are for you!


angel 1a

The angels wanted to fly away I guess.

 It is also coming up to Christmas and maybe this might be the right thing for someone you know.
Maybe it will help you out with some of your shopping and save you a little money!


angel 2

If I get enough people I will give away all 3.

First 50 comments- one angel
100 comments- two angels
and if by chance I get 150 comments I will give away all 3 angels.

I am also going to use the rules I used last time because I enjoyed them so much, it is after all my birthday.

  9. I should win this adorable angel because I am not. I try but I am not an angel. My mouth betrays me, my attitude gets all fired up, my sense of humor trips me and I have tried wings but they just don't suit me. And besides, I love your work. The Olde Bagg

    ReplyDelete
  10. Well I love two hearts on your Etsy....the sacred heart pendant 5 because it is so traditional and 24 sacred heart because it isn't. You have such a wonderous way of viewing how you create. Almost as though you step back, turn around and your wonderwoman belt appears and here comes something else. In other words your creations are never static. woooooooo art talk. The Olde Bagg

    ReplyDelete
  11. Whew, I have blogged about your giveaway with a link to this post and put a side bar picture for folks to find their way here. The Olde Bagg

  12. And lastly, the angel in my life......we'll I'd have to say a very special and brave woman who told her story of childhood abuse on her blog. I stumbled upon it but nothing is an accident in life. She gave me courage, a sense of oneness and let me know she was out there if I needed her. She is an angel. "Each of us is an angel with only one wing....we cannot fly without each other." we simply need to let ourselves be open..........to fly. Happy Birthday Marie, The Olde Bagg

  27. It's so hard to choose a current favourite from your shop but I am definitely going to treat myself to one of your steampunk pieces when Christmas is out of the way so I will definitely say the steampunk heart. In fact while I think about it - I might sneak it onto myu Christmas wishlist and do some major eyelash fluttering at the family ;)

    It would be closely followed by any of your hearts but I do love the angel inside too :)

  30. I've told you about one of my angels - I believe another is my partner Craig. He sticks with me through thick and thin and I know I am a devil to live with at times ;) He must surely be a saint indeed.

    ReplyDelete
  31. Why should I win this angel. Hummmm... I'll be truthful and say I would give it to my eldest daughter. She slobbered over my other one and I stuck to my guns and kept it for myself. (Oooh selfish Mum!) It would simply be a guilt alleviator (I don't feel guilty enough to give her mine! *g*)
